Who wants to tell him that there were in fact Jews in the US before 1900 and that they did participate in the slave trade?

There are more fake hate crimes perpetrated by Jews and real crimes by blacks than there are right wing attacks.

But descendants of those interned received reparations as well, not just the living survivors. This was signed into law in 1988 by Ronald Regan.
By the way, I am dead set against reparations, and I am not trolling. I am simply asking for some clarification from a purely legal standpoint.

I'm also aware no White person alive today has never owned a slave and no black person alive today has ever been one. They're not owed anything

How many polled were former slaves?

How can you want “sweeping change” when your mindset is stuck in 1865?

Judah Benjamin was the Confederate Secretary of War, although I believe the only slaves he ever had technically belonged to his wife and were part of her dowry.

Giving benefit of the doubt, maybe he meant his direct ancestors didn't reach the US until early 1900s.

Sad that every legitimate inquiry has to include this sort of disclaimer to even-marginally LESSEN the silly responsive attacks.

A topic near and dear to my heart.

don't need reparations. Already got free school (you get what you put into it) pell grant (big thank you to all taxpayers) and finished it off with the GI bill putting the extra money into my pocket.

reparations and lack thereof are just another excuse lazy brokedicks use to explain why they haven't done jack shite with their life and won't do jack shite with their life - because it's easier to blame white people than to look in the mirror and say, "maybe it's my fault" which I am convinced many people simply are incapable of doing.

It's almost like our country is still a .... meritocracy where you can improve your lot in life if you work hard and smart!

Quick case study of men who did not grow up rich who became rich through hard work and using their heads.






Vs

black guy who murdered a 19 year old girl working at burger king. Quotes such as " “America’s gonna burn!”
“Where’s our reparations for four hundred years of fricking slavery!”



where's the reparations for the girl he killed? Should be his own fricking life.

Anyone demanding or begging for reparations can eat shite. But hey, the type of person who asks for it will be like that Chappelle Show sketch.

The good - they'll waste any and all fricking money and put it back into the economy!

the bad - they will then stick their hands out begging for more.

LBJ's "War on Poverty" and "Great Society" were reparations in reality. It succeeded in destroying two parent homes in the black community and keeping generations on the dem voting plantation.

NO...Hell fricking no they don't !
Most "black" people want the freaking sorry arse, entitled mentality nigg*** screaming "reparations" to shut the hell up and get a freaking Job !

As I've said repeatedly over the years, "black" people, good hard working, middle class black people are absolutely NO different than the same class of white people, Indian people, Mexican people, Asian people....ANY people with the same mentality of basic work ethic, and self preservation.

Nigge**** are a freaking CANCER to "black" people, the same as they are to society as a whole. Nigg**** is not a color any more, and hasn't been in decades.... it's an ATTITUDE/MINDSET/INDOCTRINATION !

There is a certain class of race problem-solvers who don't want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public.
Booker T. Washington

There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.

Agreed!
So I will be more direct...
What if Joe Biden executed an executive order to pay certain African-Americans reparations. Could this order withstand a legal test?
Consider that there is already a historical legal precedent - Japanese American internment reparations.
Before anyone responds with " it would be impossible to prove if somebody is a direct descendant of a slave", this is a completely separate argument, and only represents the difficulty of pay reparations, not whether reparations would be legal.
Interested to hear responses.
